Every year during the first full week of May, Goodwill agencies across the United States and Canada celebrate the power of work through local events and promotions. This year, Goodwill Week will be celebrated Sunday, May 3, through Saturday, May 9.
Goodwill Industries Week was first celebrated in May 1951 as a way to encourage local Goodwill agencies to educate their communities about their mission of “helping people with disabilities help themselves.”
Today, the garden parties and teas of the 1950s have been replaced by moon bounces at family fun days and donation drives on college campuses across the country. The church bulletin ads of the 1960s are now Facebook, Twitter and email blasts to Goodwill supporters.
Goodwill Industries of Kansas will celebrate with a special in-store promotion for our Facebook followers and a career fair. To spread the word about Goodwill’s mission, you’ll also hear short success stories on local TV and radio stations.
